'Bipartisanship is our strength'

The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is getting back to work after what the legislative panel’s bipartisan leadership said was an extremely productive session.

At the panel’s first meeting of the 118th Congress last week, Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) said 18 Indian Country bills were signed into law during the prior session. The figure means the committee has finally overcome the era of stagnation that was seen when Donald Trump was president and when Republicans controlled the legislative branch of the U.S. government.

“By any measure, the last two years were the most productive in recent decades and arguably the most productive in American history for the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs,” said Schatz, who is serving a second term as chair of the panel.
